I'm no petrol head - to me a car is a means to get from A to B - but I do like the camaraderie and matey fun those 3 get up to. I had no idea that it was sold world-wide but it is very informative about the industry, and we CAN dream when we see some of those cars. Her Channel 5 have a similar show: "Fifth Gear", but it just hasn't got the same characters and chutzpah.
